It’s hard to believe it’s already been nearly two months since our last Greenbackers Investment Showcase in London! What a day it was—filled with energy, innovation, and an undeniable passion for cleantech. This event, hosted in partnership with Sustainable Ventures and sponsored by London Stock Exchange and Ryan Inc, was Greenbackers biggest and best Showcase yet and nothing short of extraordinary.

A Day Packed with High-Impact Connections
From the moment the doors opened at Sustainable Ventures, the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation. Investors from VC Funds, Corporate Funds, Family Offices, Impact Funds, and Angel Syndicates gathered to discover some of the most promising, investment-ready cleantech startups seeking Late Seed, Series A, or B funding.
As one of our attendees put it:
“Very well put together. Greenbackers process, organization, and follow up strategies are something I wish more pitch events put in place! I look forward to attending more of these.” Evan Cummings, Investment Manager, Centrica Ventures
One-on-one Investor Meetings
The morning kicked off with over 240 one-on-one speed-dating meetings between startups and investors—an unparalleled opportunity to spark meaningful conversations and potential deals.
“The curated one to one founder / investor meetings (speed dating) are becoming are bigger and more important part of our events now. The one-to-many format of traditional pitching serves a valuable purpose for attendees, but the captive audience of the one-to-ones with a pre-screened relevant party sitting across the table from you are arguably the highest value add aspect of the day”. Mark Hannigan, Partner at Greenbackers
Panel session
“Is The Climate Tech Boom Over?”
Beyond the pitches and networking, our expert panel session was a highlight of the day. Led by Greenbackers’ own Andrew Smith, alongside Andrew Wordsworth (Sustainable Ventures), Nataliya Manifold (LSEG), Valentin Kristensen (OakNorth), and Reenst Leseman (C-Power), the discussion tackled a pressing question: Is the Climate Tech Boom Over? Spoiler alert—far from it! Cleantech investment is evolving, not slowing down, and the opportunities are more promising than ever. (Check out our in-depth take on this topic here).
The Main Event
22 Game-Changing Cleantech Pitches
After a dynamic morning, the afternoon was all about the startups. 22 companies took to the stage to present their groundbreaking solutions in renewable energy, sustainable materials, AI-driven efficiency, and more. Each pitch showcased not only a cutting-edge business model but also a deep commitment to making a real difference in the fight against climate change.
